The Free Land of Geraluden is a large, genial nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 119 million Geraludites enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Geraludenian economy, worth 9.82 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,489 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Birth rates have hit an all-time low, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, Geraludenian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, and emojis are the soul of wit. Crime is totally unknown. Geraluden's national animal is the capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Geraluden is ranked 50,757^th in the world and 124^th in Horizon for Most Cultured, scoring 72 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
